Monday Must Have: Christmas Stocking Gift Ideas

PSST!! I have a secret to share with you...

I DON'T HAVE MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING DONE YET!!
Yep, that's right, I'm not quite ready for Christmas, because I've been busy baking Jillicious Dessert orders and helping others get ready for their Christmas celebrations. So, although I should be stressed, I'm just taking it all in stride and I'll get done what I can and not worry (too much) and just call "late" presents, gifts for the New Year.

YOU probably have all your shopping done, packages wrapped and now you are just enjoying the holiday festivities. But for the few of you who still need some gift ideas, here are my top five stocking stuffer gifts that are all under $20 and make great presents.

Definition of Discover

discover -1) a: to make known or visableb: display2) to obtain sight or knowledge of for the first time; find, to make a discovery.

syn ~ ascertain, determine, unearth, learn: discover presupposes exploration, investigation, or chance encounter and always implies the previous existene of what becomes known; ascertain implies effort to find the facts or the truth proceeding from awareness of ignorance or uncertainty; determine emphaszies the intent to establish the facts definitely or precisely; unearth implies bringing to light something forgotten or hidden; learn may imply acquring knowledge with little effort or conscious intention (as simply being told); it may imply study and practice, but usually does not stress active search.

The word discover goes back to Latin dis- and cooperire, meaning 'to remove the covering; completely uncover.' By 1553, it was used to mean 'seeing or gaining knowledge of something previously unknown' and 'finding out; bringing to light.' You discover ('uncover') something that is already there, something that has existed but is generally unknown - but you invent something that has never existed before.
